Absolutely vibrant stuff. A core of passion fruit, gooseberry and melon and a lively, zippy finish.

Named after a former WWII air force base where the grapes are grown, this is a real ‘Spitfire’ of a wine. Selected from the two finest small blocks of Raparua’s Murphy vineyard, this is a rich, full Sauvignon Blanc.

A New Zealand sauvignon unlike many others. Fermented in old oak with wild yeasts, this wine has taken on a more complex character, with bold passionfruit and rosemary notes on the nose, creamy medium-bodied palate with peach, melon and savoury flavours. Distinctive and delicious.

Portugal’s most popular Douro white wine and it is easy to see why. Vinified from grapes grown at high altitude (Planalto translates as “High Plains”) to retain freshness and delicacy in this hot region, this is a deliciously vibrant wine boasting ripe citrus and floral aromas.

A classic Vinho Verde, with some gentle spritz and medium / medium-dry. It boasts wonderful green-grassy freshness and is thoroughly moreish.

Vinho Verde, the most popular white wine from Portugal, is a deliciously refresing, light wine. "Verde", meaning "Green" refers to the hints of lime colour. It makes a brilliant pairing with any fish, shellfish and poultry.

The striking, zesty and green-fruit character in Beyra Branco make it an excellent and high quality introduction to Portugal for people who enjoy aromatic dry whites.

As for other grapes from this region, Avesso produces high acid, crisp wines. Quinta da Raza have produced a wonderful varietal Avesso. It has classic citrus fruit, bringing a bit of zip, lifted white flowers, and a little weight from some time on lees.

Often quoted as the standard bearer for this variety in Portugal, Luis Cerdeira is the surest pair of hands south of the Minho with Alvarinho.
Soalheiro’s Alvarinho 'classico' is, vintage after vintage, consistently bursting with vibrant, sun-drenched fruit and fresh minerality.
Not your standard Vinho Verde, these wines can live for years, too.

After spending 10 months in French oak, this field blend from an average of 90 year old vines is floral and citrus on the nose with a lovely lifted hint of honey and vanilla. Rounded and fresh and balanced and delicious.

Combining the best bits of each grape, along with the influence of such amazing terroir. Bright and zippy, citrus and floral, mineral and textured, fresh acidity and mild salinity.

Based on purely Viosinho grapes on schist soils, the Meruge Branco is fermented and aged in new Portuguese oak barrels. With the structure and complexity displayed, this is a wine with an enormous potential for ageing.

Fetească Regală (or Royal Maiden in English) is the Royal grape exclusive to Romania. It is a cross between two grape varieties – Fetească Albă and Grasă de Cotnari and again originates from Transylvania. Regală has the aromatic quality of Fetească Albă but is a weightier grape with more body.
The Regală also has a citrusy edge to its character with lots of orange and lemony fruit. Fetească Regală works well with oak and can produce bigger wines with a slightly spicy finish.

Pale straw in colour with strong herbaceous aromas and just a hint of fennel. Good balance between acidity and body give this wine its long aftertaste.

Gold yellow in colour with flavours of elderflower and passion fruit. A full-bodied wine, with pleasant flavours of fruits and flowers and fresh acidity that gives this wine a long and soft finish.

Straw yellow colour, with aromas of ripe peach and apricot notes and fine oak smoked taste with creamy peach and vanilla with a long and pleasant finish.

A parcel of attractively ripe, textural Sem Sauv, showing some evolution but still holding up well thanks to the quality of old vine Semillon, 30% naturally fermented, and extended ageing on lees before bottling. Excellent wine for the money.

Forge Mill's Bush Vine Chenin Blanc is the perfect everyday wine that offers uncomplicated quality for the novice and connoisseur alike.

What is unique about Franschhoek is the high but good acidity, according to winemaker Ryan Puttick. Expressive tropical aromas tinged with capsicum open up to attractive Cape gooseberry, grapefruit and pineapple fruit flavours balanced by a lively but gentle coated acidity that follows
through to a beautifully fresh finish of pleasing length. A hint of Semillon adds breadth and fills the mid-palate.

Named after the old mill houses that were once famous landmarks in the Valley, this Chenin Blanc features fleshy peach and pineapple aromas supported by a bright burst of citrus and some leesy intrigue

Luscious unoaked Viognier grown on young vines.

Windswept Sauvignon Blanc is not concocted from over-cropped grapes, nor pumped up on clever wine making additives. This authentic wine comes from cool, windswept, coastal vineyards. These gems give up meagre yields of small berries, imbued with their own natural acidity and intensity.

A fresh, dry Chenin with broad appeal.

Slow Chenin Blanc is not fermented with fast-acting, or 'aroma-enhancing’ commercially selected yeast. The grapes do not take three weeks to get from vineyard to bottle. It is crafted the wild way – old vine fruit, fermented with wild yeast found naturally on the grapes…not in a packet. This magical transformation takes at least six months.
